It seems to me that a 'comic no-trump' is a specific (& illegal in most places as you mentioned) convention and therefore isn't actually a psyche - though I realise it is in the same vein (A bit like drury after a 3rd seat opening which is passes cos opener had long clubs and a weak hand). A 1NT psyche is more general than this. Cambion 12:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

It really depends whether you have a checkback bid by the partner; if yes, it is subject to restrictions and "properly" called Gardener/comic; if not, I feel it still may be called "comic", at least for an absence of a better term. I just wanted to cross-link the articles; Gardener 1NT explains the legality in more details. Duja 13:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
